Family To Do List

We are excited to welcome our Hornets to the 2024-2025 school year! Here is a useful list of tasks to complete that will help prepare your family for the start of school:

  1. Complete the federal Educational Benefits form

Our students will receive FREE breakfast & lunch for the 2024-2025 school year.  Kearsley families, we need your help to ensure this benefit continues!

Visit https://kearsley.familyportal.cloud/ to access our Meal Magic Family Portal. Click on the “Apply for Benefits” button to complete the Educational Benefits form. 

It only takes a few minutes to complete & may get your family discounts on AP testing, internet, college application fees, and more. Information shared is confidential. 

  1. Review & Update Your Child’s School Account

Update your child’s emergency contacts, health information & verify your contact info is correct through the annual Online Renewal process. This is required every school year and typically takes 10-15 minutes to complete. 

Once your child’s account is updated, and processed by Kearsley staff, you will be able to view your child’s teacher assignment or class schedule.

If you need help accessing ParentVUE, please call 810-249-1266. Our tech staff will help you. You can leave a message and calls are returned during business hours.

  1. Visit Kearsley’s Back to School 2024-2025 webpage

This is your “one stop shop” information page for preparing to send your child off to school. You will find:

  • District Calendar

  • School Buildings’ Daily Schedules, including ½ day & 1-Hr. Release times

  • Suggested School Supply lists for each grade level

  • Welcome Back Newsletters from Principals

  • Bus Routes

  1. Download My Ride K-12 App & Set Up Your Account -

Did you know? Kearsley buses travel over 1,000 miles per day. We want every trip to be a safe one for our Hornets! 

We are excited to introduce “My Ride K-12.” Using this one-of-a-kind mobile app, you will have access to your student's bus number, driver's name, bus stops and pick up & drop off times. In addition, on the app, you will be able to see the approximate location of the bus on the route. Kearsley’s transportation department can send notifications, through the phone app, of changes that may impact on your student's route.

  1. Attend Welcome Back Open Houses/Orientations

Dates for each event are posted on the Back to School 2024-2025 webpage, under your child’s school building. You and your child will meet their school principal and teacher. Transportation staff will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. 

If you have questions or need help, please contact your child’s school building.
